Quite a range of different drive cleaner products exist that can be
used to remove porn files from PC hard drive. Families are often
concerned about the ease of access to unsuitable materials
from the internet, and the possibility that these items could
be stored locally on the PC. They invariably
are pleased to discover that you can detect and clean it up
easily with simple to use, user friendly software, if that type
of material does in fact exist there.

School's and
universities are in a similar predicament, their students
have natural sexual drives and curiosity to view this material.
They along with corporations, seek to present a clean and safe
network environment for their students and employees and not
expose themselves to legal actions arising from inadvertent exposure
to pornographic items. They also want to avoid
losses in productivity
deriving from student / employees use of inappropriate material
during work/school time.

Another issue is that in-appropriate files place
inordinate pressure
on IT resources, including reduction of usable bandwidth due
to downloading of large video files and images, storage and backup
requirements in place to back up inappropriate or illegal files,
slower performance in general, additional ongoing maintenance,
additional hardware demand and such.

A newer product called
PinPoint Auditor, was designed for use
by organizations that rely on enterprise scale networks where scanning
of networked resources such as workstations and servers is required.
This software will also remove porn remotely, and it provides features
like reporting and many other functions specific to network software.
The need to scan networks for porn is more common than ever.

For the general user market, there are a few good tools that work
for home computers. Snitch drive
cleaner is one that cleans home users computers, it is designed
to detect porn and remove
porn quickly and simply. It incorporates a range of quite specialized
algorithms that try to pick up nudity and so forth in images,
videos and other types of files. Media
Detective allows parents to find files that otherwise are difficult
to locate on hard drives, particularly if they have been hidden
by previous users.
